What to expect at Afrotrax
Beyond the headline act, attendees at both shows can look forward to a packed lineup of local artists and DJs, food vendors, lifestyle activations and large-scale stage production, along with premium hospitality experiences. Organisers have confirmed that support acts, additional performers and VIP packages will be announced in the weeks ahead.
The two cities will each offer a distinct vibe. Johannesburg's Canvas venue promises a high-energy urban festival atmosphere, while Cape Town's Ostrich Farm leans into the city's signature outdoor summer lifestyle.
The organisers behind Afrotrax say the festival was conceived as a platform to spotlight Africa's creative energy while drawing in world-class international talent. Tickets, including VIP packages, will be available exclusively through Playy. Fans are encouraged to register early to secure priority access and stay updated ahead of both events.
